that scoop of almond butter wasted no time sinking into this creamy mug of oat bran. it just really wanted a warm bath, but trust me, that glob ran deep. i don’t blame it…i’d want to bathe in that creaminess too!

yesterday i went on a nice walk before lunch. the weather was perfect. it was really warm, but there was a calm breeze. i love that type of weather. when i got home i didn’t know what to make for lunch, so i decided on a simple wrap. it felt like too small of a lunch, but i didn’t know what else to eat! i hate that. do you ever spend forever in the kitchen opening and re-opening the fridge, praying for an idea? so frustrating. the wrap was really yummy though. it contained black beans, chopped cherry tomatoes, cucumber, grated carrot, a touch of olive oil, dijon mustard, and some other flavorings. ketchup and more dijon mustard were at its side for dipping, of course.

dinner last night was amazing! i made a curried soba noodle stir-fry adapted from the “curried udon noodle stir-fry” recipe in V’CON. i only made a few changes, so full credit definitely goes to V’CON for this super delightful dinner. it had a perfect curry flavor without being overpowering. my mom loved it too. the rest of the family ate bbq chicken, corn, and baked beans. boy did they miss out! i love ethnic flavors, especially curry. that’s right, this vegan has some international taste buds. 😉

if any of you can recommend a recipe(s) from the cookbooks listed in this post, i would love that! i’m having so much fun cooking! cookbooks are amazing. (and they help with the not-knowing-what-to-make dilemma!)

rachel ray is on right now. i used to like watching her. but ever since i started watching giada and ina, i don’t like rachel very much. she’s sweet, but her food rarely sounds appetizing to me. don’t you think food network needs a vegan chef?! why don’t they already have one? i don’t think they even have a vegetarian chef. tisk tisk, food network.

have a wonderful tuesday, loves.
